[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] " [name_f]Trix[/name_f] " [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] Cerpa (21) is Madeline’s younger sister, Oscar’s sister-in-law and aunt to their daughters. Like [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Trix[/name_f] grew up dancing, however her interest in performance led to her pursuing acting instead of remaining as a ballerina; something partially inspired by how Trix’s father is a theatre owner, and would regularly take his kids to performances there. In particular, the works of [name_m]Ibsen[/name_m] captivated her once she entered her teens and unlike many of her fellow drama students who long for the silver screen to be their final destination, Trix’s focus is entirely on theatre itself. This hasn’t stopped her accepting roles in a couple of short films and webseries throughout her later years of college though, having an especial talent for accents which she credits to her success as it grants versatility filmmakers desire to give the illusion of the wider world. Part of [name_f]Trix[/name_f] can’t help but worry sometimes - not something she’s comfortable admitting to anyone outside of a chosen few, including her sister closest in age (who’s between her and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] in the birth order) - that she won’t see her dreams become a reality, but she remains staunchly against asking her dad for any help as she considers it unfair and doesn’t want to steal work from existing actors at the building he owns given they’ve performed amazing shows and displayed serious talent.
Right now, Trix’s in the process of moving into a shared house with a couple of university friends, although only one was on her acting course as the musical theatre crowd drove her half-mad with their impromptu [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] recitals. Not that she looks down on this field of work but a warning would’ve been appreciated when she was trying to learn her lines. She isn’t exactly the baby of her family but being the second youngest has meant people keep an eye on her with a touch of overprotectiveness attached; resulting in her university time being especially important to [name_f]Trix[/name_f], giving her not just a taste of freedom but also furthering her understanding of responsibility. Having gained her driver’s license when she was sixteen, travelling around in her very old car has given her impromptu mechanics classes, and she’s even given her older siblings a bit of advice - which [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] find absolutely hilarious. Trix’s knowledge comes from her boyfriend: a trans man who’s studying engineering and someone she deeply loves, although they aren’t the sappiest of couples. Him coming out to her is something [name_f]Trix[/name_f] remembers well due to how nervous he was and she goes out of her way to accompany him to trans related protests and events, determined to let him know he has all of her support.
